Editorial CommentUrologyVol. 78Issue 4PreviewNon-neurogenic neurogenic bladder is a term used to describe a form of bladder-sphincteric dysfunction in children. It is typically characterized by a combination of urinary incontinence, impaired and inefficient emptying, and recurrent urinary tract infections. Bowel dysfunction, including constipation and encopresis, are also common. The clinical and urodynamic sequelae are often identical to those in children with neurogenic bladder, except that no neurologic pathologic features can be demonstrated on physical examination or radiographic imaging.
